EQ(x, y): x equals y (x=y);
G(x): x is greater than zero (x>0);
D(x, y): x divides y exactly;
Next, using the above predicates and quantifiers were necessary, express the following
English statements in logic.
(d) "Any non-zero integer divides itself"
(e) "A prime number's only positive factors are 1 and itself."
